Opening your own eBay Store

Searching eBay Stores

There are plenty of times that you don’t want to participate in an auction. Sometimes you want to buy your item now. The easiest place to go for this type of transaction is to purchase an item from a fixed-price listing where you find ready-to-buy items. Visiting a seller’s store can save you money because buying multiple items from one seller allows several items to be shipped in a single box. Even if the items have to be shipped separately, many sellers will discount shipping costs on multiple purchases.

Regular eBay sellers run these stores, which are easily accessed by clicking the red-door icon in the seller info box on any listing page, as shown in Figure 11-1. Not every seller has a store, but when you see an item you want to buy, and the seller has a store, you can check there to find more goodies.
